  • Katsushika Hokusai Born in 1760 and Died in 1849 in Edo, Japan
    1 Excerpted from Kathleen Krull, Lives of the Artists, 1995, 32 – 35. OLD MAN MAD ABOUT DRAWING KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI BORN IN 1760 AND DIED IN 1849 IN EDO, JAPAN Japanese painter and printmaker, known for his enormous influence on both Eastern and Western art THE MAN HISTORY knows as Katsushika Hokusai was born in the Year of the Dragon in the bustling city now known as Tokyo. After working for eight stormy years in the studio of a popular artist who resented the boy's greater skill, Hokusai was finally thrown out. At first he earned his daily bowl of rice as a street peddler, selling red peppers and ducking if he saw his old teacher coming. Soon he was illustrating comic books, then turning out banners, made-to-order greeting cards for the rich, artwork for novels full of murders and ghosts, and drawings of scenes throughout his beloved Edo. Changing one's name was a Japanese custom, but Hokusai carried it to an extreme—he changed his more than thirty times. No one knows why. Perhaps he craved variety, or was self-centered (thinking that every change in his art style required a new identity), or merely liked being eccentric. One name he kept longer than most was Hokusai, meaning "Star of the Northern Constellation," in honor of a Buddhist god he especially revered. He did like variety in dwellings. Notorious for never cleaning his studio, he took the easy way out whenever the place became too disgustingly dirty: he moved. Hokusai moved a total of ninety-three times—putting a burden on his family and creating a new set of neighbors for himself at least once a year.

  • Relation Between the Tokyo Olympics and Real Estate Industry
    Relation Between the Tokyo Olympics and Real Estate Industry Report 2015 On the Occasion of Publication Hiromasa Nakamura Director General All Japan Real Estate Association, Tokyo Head Office Real Estate Guarantee Association, Tokyo Head Office In September 2013, Tokyo was selected as the host city for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games (hereinafter referred to as the Olympics) at the meeting of the International Olympic Committee. It is still fresh in our memories that not only the citizens of Tokyo but also people throughout Japan were thrilled with joy. The All Japan Real Estate Association, Tokyo head office, has been making survey studies related to condominium policy, regional disaster prevention, and city planning, as well as proposals based on such studies through the research institute it established, Zennichi Tokyo Academy, headed by Professor Yasushi Aoyama of Meiji University Graduate School and the former vice governor of the Tokyo metropolitan government. The Zennichi Tokyo Academy has been studying the topic of the relation between the Tokyo Olympics and the real estate industry over two years since the decision came that the Olympics will be held in Tokyo. While it is expected that there will be even more real estate transactions by foreigners ahead of the Olympics, on the other hand, we are seeing more and more vacant dwellings due to the declining birthrate and depopulation and this is becoming a social problem. At the Zennichi Tokyo Academy, discussions have been advanced under the recognition that in addition to making Tokyo a city that will prosper in terms of business, it is important to maintain and expand Tokyo as a city that is safe, secure, and easy to live in even as it internationalizes.

  • Deep Two-Way Matrix Reordering for Relational Data Analysis
    Deep Two-Way Matrix Reordering for Relational Data Analysis Chihiro Watanabe∗1 and Taiji Suzuki†1,2 1Graduate School of Information Science Technology, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan 2Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP), RIKEN, Tokyo, Japan Abstract Matrix reordering is a task to permute the rows and columns of a given observed matrix such that the resulting reordered matrix shows meaningful or interpretable structural patterns. Most existing matrix reordering techniques share the common processes of extracting some feature representations from an observed matrix in a predefined manner, and applying matrix reordering based on it. However, in some practical cases, we do not always have prior knowledge about the structural pattern of an observed matrix. To address this problem, we propose a new matrix reordering method, called deep two-way matrix reordering (DeepTMR), using a neural network model. The trained network can automatically extract nonlinear row/column features from an observed matrix, which can then be used for matrix reordering. Moreover, the proposed DeepTMR provides the denoised mean matrix of a given observed matrix as an output of the trained network. This denoised mean matrix can be used to visualize the global structure of the reordered observed matrix. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DeepTMR by applying it to both synthetic and practical datasets. Keywords: matrix reordering, relational data analysis, neural network, visualization 1 Introduction Matrix reordering or seriation is a task to permute the rows and columns of a given observed ma- trix such that the resulting matrix shows meaningful or interpretable structural patterns [4, 22]. Such reordering-based matrix visualization techniques provide an overview of the various practical data ma- trices, including gene expression data [8, 12], document-term relationship data [5], and archaeological data [18] (e.g., the relationships between tombs and objects in Egypt [26]).
